CLEARFIELD, PA., MARCH. 13, 1867.
An Important More.
The Lake Erie Press Association, at their
meeting. on the 14th February, 1867, ap
pointed a Committee to prepare a bill "re
lating to the publication of Local, General
and Private Laws, and of Legal advertise
meats in the several counties of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania."
A copy of the bill, prepared by the Com
mittee referred to," has been received uy us.
The first section provides that a certified
coyy of each general law, except the Gen-.
eral Appropriation bill, and each law spe
it v. ......
ciaiiy relating, to each individual county,
shall, as soon as approved by the Governor,
be sent to the Commissioners of the respec
tire counties, by the Secretary of the Com
moswealth. The second section makes it
the duty of the Commissioners, as soon as
said laws are received by them, to publish
the same in one newspaper of each of the
two leading p'olifical parties, if there be so
many published in tl e county, not less than
twice,at such rates as can be agreed upon,
not exceeding usual rates of advertising sim
ilar matter. The third section relates to
corporations, the acts to be published in
like manner as the above, the expenses to
be "paid out of the corporation treasury.
Section fourth has reference to the publica
tion of the annnual reports of County Com
missioners, Auditors and Poor Directors of
each county, and the Court Proclamations,
Sheriff's Sales, Election Proclamations, in
like manner as the foregoing, the costs of
publication to be defrayed out of the county
treasuries ; and section fifth makes this act
applicable to all general and local laws pass
ed after the first Tuesday in January, 1867
except the Appropriation bill as aforesaid.
The publication of the laws in this man
ner has been practised for several years in
New York, New Jersey, Ohio, and other
States, with general satisfaction to th peo
ple in those States. And, there is little
doubt,' that the publication of the laws of
Pennsylvania, in the several county papers
throughout the State, would be approved
by the people generally, ;. Under our present
system of distributing a limited number of
eopies of the " Pamphlet laws," compara
tively few persons ever become familiar with
the laws yearly passed by their Representa
tives ; and hence many of our statutes are
violated, and persons subjected to severe
penalties, for a' want of proper knowledge
of the existence of such laws. Then, as a
preventive of the violation of many of our
Jaws, the people should be made familiar
with them, and the mode suggested in the
bill referred to. seems tor be the most prac
tical way of accomplishing that end. And,
in view" of these facts, the publication of
the laws in the countv Taoer3"ia. at loast.
. j
- worthy the earnest consideration of out Rep
resentatives at Ilarrisburg.
In connection with this subject, a friend
at our elbow makes the following sugges
tion : " To have all propositions for laws,
whether general or special in their ' effects,
published beore they are presented for final
passage, so as to give the people, immedi
ately interested, fair opportunity of ex
pressing -their opinions upon them", apd
instructing their Representatives to act fn
accordance with their views."
A Noteworthy Fact. The vote of Hon.
Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland, for the Re
construction Bill, before and after the veto,
is the best answer that can be given to the
cavil as to the unconstitutionality of that
act -Mr. Johnson, one of the ablest con
stitutional lawyers in the Union', had no
scruples on that score, and hence he made
ne of the most powerful speeches of the
session in favor of the bill, clearly setting
forth the reasons why it should pass. Sen
ator Johnson, in this, represents the aver
age of the good 6ense and mature judgment
of the country.
' The South Moving. Late advices from
Washington state that the Virginia State
Senate last week passed a bill calling a State
Convention under the Military Reconstruc
tion bill there being only four votes against
it out of thirty, and one of the four was
Robert Ould, the late Rebel Commissioner
of Exchange. ' It is also rumored that a
State Convention will at once be called in
North Carolina the legislature being now
in session. '

" Tour Home Paper." ,
. The following articles in reference to (Hip-
porting "your home paper," are worthy the
careful perusal of every man who has at
heart the welfare and '. improvement of the
county in which he resides. On this sub
ject the Chicago' Republican says : -

tion, plethoric purses, and. a well-to-do appear,
anee generally; othorssQow a striving to contend
with the grasping thousands around them, trying
bard to wrench out an existence from the close
fisted community around them. An occasional
meteoric display in its columns of telegraphic, or
local, or of editorial, show what it can do if it
had the means, but cannot continue in the expen
sive work until support comes, which ought to be
readily granted. A newspaper is Use a Church ;
it want fostering at the commencement, and for
a few years, then, as a general thing, U can walk
alone, and refiect credit upon its location. Take
your home paper; it gives you more new of im
mediate interest than the New York orother dis
tant papers: it talks for yon when no other will
speak in your favor; when other localities bel:e
you, it stands up for your right; you always have
a champion in your home paper; and tboso who
stand up for you should certainly be well sustain
ed. Tour intetests are kindred and equal, and
von mast rise or fall together. Therefore, it is
your interest to support your home paper, not
erudzinely, but in a liberal spirit, as a pleasure.
not as a disagreeable duty, but as an investment
that will amply repay the expenditure "

to tho same subject, urges the necessity cf

The Plata
dealer says:
" It matters not how many newspapers a man

wish, be should feel that himself and neighbors
are responsible, in a measure, for its short com

manifestations. Let an editor feel that his efforts
are appreciated and h'e is the most responsive be
in on earth : his oaner. beinz a part of himself,
ne is as sensitive to praise or censure as a doting
father. Nothing can supply the place of the
home paver. It is the mirror in wh'ch the town
and neighborhood news is reflected ; in the social
political and religious circle where printed, it fills
a place that no other paper can. When a need of

Here we have the testimony of two city
papers, as to the value jof a "home paper'
in advancing the business interests of the
community in which' it is published. The
Plaindealer says, "if economy compels you to
" curtail your newspaper list.sftvX-e off every
" other one, before Tou say to the publish
"er of yous home journal, stop my paper"
because '"'nothing can supply its place;" but
this is not always done. For instance, we
could name quite a number of persons who
have done just the reverse who "couldn't
afford to taVe do many paper," Who "wore
taking a city paper," and hence stopped
their "home paper;?' and we presume this
is the experience of nearly every country
editor. That these men have the right to
stop their paper, is true ; but it frequently
happens that they are prominent members
of the party to which they belong, and when
there is an opportunity for party preferment,
i they are the first to seek that preferment,
and the first to ask the editor, whose paper
they have stopped, to use his influence in
their behalf,tIiU3 acknowledging the valueof
the "home paper" over the city paper when
party ends are to Be obtained, and yet they
are " too poor" to take their ' home jour
nal." Now, for such men. under the cir
cunntances, to ask tho " home" editor to
advance their interests in- preference to that
of others, is, to say tli3 least, anything but
just and fair. A generous minded man will
not do so. He will take his local county
paper in preference to all others, and then,
when he has a favor to ask of its editor, he
can do so with a clear conscience, and with
the hope that his request will be cheerfully
complied with. -
The Fenians in Ireland. Adate dis
patch from Dublin says, that "a fight took
place on Tuesday night, the 5th, at Talaght,
about eight miles touth of DuLlin, between
armed police and a body of Fonians. One
of the latter was killed, five wounded, and
eighty taken prisoners. The main body of
the Fenians retreated to the hills north of
Dublin, with the commander of the British
forces in vigoorus pursuit. The police sta
tion at Killmac, county of Munster, was at:
tacked by two hundred Fenians, who were
also repulsed, leaving three of their number
dead on the field, and losing fourteen pris
oners. Thirteen prisoners were taken at
Limerick. Over two hundred prisoners
have been brought to Dublin since the com
mencement of the outbreak. The Fepians
seem well supplied with rations, and appear
to have risen in all parts of Ireland. There
is said to be much suffering among those
who fled to the mountains, pa account of
the cold and exposure. The present rising
is, however, considered a failure, notwith
standing the apparent general outbreak in
all parts of the country."
Seizcee or Counterfeiters. VThe of
ficers of the secret service division of the U.
S. Treasury Department recently effected
the seizure of counterfeiter's tools, consist
ing of steel plates, dies, presses and various
other articles used by counterfeiters, at St
Louis, Mo. One of the gang was also se
cured in the act of printing counterfeit
iraeiionai currency. A large amount of
partially finished fifty cent notes was seized
at the same time.
It is reported that Secretary McCulloch

To Pennsylvania Soldiers.
Samuel P. Pates, State Historian, hav
ing discovered many imperfections in. the
muster-rolls of the companies, desires that
each soldier, who served in any organiza
tion from this State, would furnifeb lnforma-
ion in his personal history pertaining to the
following points, viz :
1. Wouuds. If wounded, give the date, in
what engagements received ; nature of wounds;
nature of surgical operations, u capiiat. m j
whom performed. - -
2. Imprisonments. If prisoner, give the date
and place of capture ; where imprisoned ; Katare
of treatment ; and the date and manner of escape
or release. , r ' fJ. . .
He also "desires that the relatives or com-.
panions in arms of deceased soldiers would
give the cause, date, place of . death .and
place of interment of each, and any facts in
his history touching the subjects above re
ferred to. Write at the head of the page
the name of the person to whom the infor
mation pertains, the number of regiment
and letter of company to which he belong
ed. Write in concise terms, in a plain hand,
on letter paper, and on but one side of a leaf.
Mr. Bates also desires to make a collection
for present and future use
1. Complete files of all newspapers published
in the State from 'he beginning of 1661 to the
close oi 1853, to be bound and permanently kept
in the archives of the State. Will the publishers
or any friend possessing tbem furnish such files.
2. Discourses commemorative of f alien soldiers ;
pamphlets pertaining in any manner to the re
bellion or its causes ; articles published or in
manuscript containing historical facts
3. Published hielories or sketches of regiments.
batteries or companies ; printed rollsand descrip
tive matter.
4. Diaries of soldiers; letters illustrative of
military life, containing information of perma
nent historic value, or descriptions of interesting
incidents ; plans of battles, sieges, forts and of
naval engagements.
6. Complete rolls of students and graduates of
eacn college in we state, wao were in me service..
6. Card photographs (vignette) of each officer,
of whatever grade, who. at anytime, acted as com
mander of a regiment, battery, or independent
company, inscribed with his name, number of
regiment, Ac. dates of period during which he
held command, with hi present post-office address.
The relatives of deceased officers are requested to
forward the photographs of such officers ihJcribed
as above. No nee -will be made of these pho
tographs without the express permission of the
senders, further than to arrange them in albums
for preservation.
Much of the matter called for under these
stveral heads may not be needed for imme
diate use, but the day will come when it will
be invaluable, and the present is regarded
is a favorable time for commencing the col
lection. Let every true son of Pennsylva
nia respond promptly to this call, and there
by rescue from oblivion many memorials of
her patriotism and her power. Address,

' The Public Debt.
The monthly statement of the public debt
I is just publfshed, from which it appears
tnat the total national indebtedness on the
1st J inst was $2,530,763,889.' 80, which
shows a net decrease from the statement of
last month of Sfj'2,585,8586. Of the gold
bearing bonds six per cents, of 1867 have
been returned to the amount of $100,000,
the six per cents, of 1881 have increased
$1C0, while the five-twenties have been in
creased, " mainly by conversions of seven-
thirties, $44,809,500. The net iucrease of
the coin-bearing debt is, therefore, $44,
709,650. The currency-bearing debt has
been reduced $1,755,810 by the retirement"
of compound-interest notes, vand $30,837,
950 by the absorption 'of seven-thirties.
The net decrease of the currency debt is
$32,64'3,8k. The matured debt of all de
scriptions, not presented for payment, a
mounts to $14,576,689.07, -tfvhich is a de
crease of $1,214,765.24. The net decrease
of the' non-interest-bearing debt is $6,037,-,
275.40; The volume of United States
notes has been reduced $5,191,464 frac
tional currency has increased $770,9SS.60,
and the issue of gold certificates has been
reduced $1,616,800. There has been quite
an increase of cash . in the -treasury, the

A Good Beginning. Messrs. Sclye and
Stewart, two independent Democrats elected
from New York to the XLth Congress, at
tended the first meeting of the Republican
caucus. It is fair to infer that these gen
tlemen intend to act, as they unquestiona
bly should, with the Republican party. To
be an independent Democrat, is of course to
be in antagonism with that faction which
dishonestly calls itself tlte Democratic party.
To be cn independent Democrat, in fact, is
is to be a Republican. AH true Republi
cans are pure Demociats. No man can be a
true Democrat without believing, in Repub
lican principles without acting in harmony
with those who believe in universal freedom
and the rights of mankind. Messrs. Selye
and Stewart doubtless appreciate these facts.
' Another Gift bv Mb. Ppabodt. Mr.
George Peabody has added another to his
long list of benefactions. His latest gift, as
we learn from the Salem Register, is $140,

promotion of the study and knowledge of
the Natural and Pbysisal Sciences, and of
their application to the useful arts." Forty
thousand dollars is to be applied to the pur
chase of the hall of the Last India Marine
Society in Salem and the erection of build
ings and the remainder is to be used as a
fund, which, afW the work of arranging a
museum and collections is completed, i8 to
be applied in the proportion of seven
twelfths to the department of Physical Sci
ences, and five-twelfths to the department
of the Natural Sciences.

The House was in cession only a couple of hours
on the 5th the time being principally devoted to
(he drawing of -teats by the members. This was
a verv novel and funny sight. All tee memners
were compelled to get outside of the range of
seats, and stand until seats were assigned them.
Each member's name was written upon a slip of
paper.and these slips placed in a box on the Clerk's
desk A page was blindfolded, and drew forth
the names. When a member's name was drawn,
the. Clerk called out, an the member took his
choice of seat. Stevens, Gov. Thomas of Mary
land, and Elihu B. Washbume were, by unani
mous consent of. the Ilouse,, allowed to retain
their old seats. - The scene was very funny, re
minding ono of the 'first day at the beginning of
a new term at school, when scholars are assigned
seats- The first name called was that of Fernan
do CBeaman. His good fortune of having the
choice of .seats created much merriment. Judge
Spalding's name was the fourth called, and, hav
ing had a seat on the Democratic side of the
House in the last Congress, tbeie was great laugh
ter when the venerable Judge took up bis trap
pings, asd selected a seat on the Republican side.
Kelly was the next called, and he took Morrill's
old seat, behind Stevens. Butler was next, and
he took a seat next Kelly. Strangely enough, a
number of tbe most prominent Radical Members
got seats together. Stevens, Butler, Shellabarger,
Kelley. Allison, Wilson of Iowa, Bchenck, Wil
liams, Pa , Garfield. Ashley! Woodbridge. and
Sidney Clarke, are all together in a triangle.
When the call had proceeded for nearly 60 min
utes, those whose name had not been called com
menced to get restless, and despair of getting
good seats. This was especially so with the re
publican Members, who, seeing all the, seats on
the Republican side occupied, felt chagrined at
having to take seats with the Democrats. Among
these unfortunate Radicals, who had to seat them
selves in the Democratic camp with Jim. Brooks,
Fernando Wood, John Morriseey, Eldiidge, Nib-
lack, and the others, were Gen. Logan, Ben Loan
Gen. Peine. Gen. Farns worth, Bingham, Poland,
Ames Walker, Eggleson, Ward, Griswold, Bald'
win, Price, and most of tbe Missouri Members
Tbe new Members that are to come are rather
meanly served, and, having no choice, : will be
compelled to taice bacK seats Before the House
adjourned the Speaker announced he would not
appoint any of the Committees excepting those
on Elections, Rules, and Mileage, until the other
States, in tbe Union are represented. This indi
catcs an early adjournment.-
Tbe Postmaster-General states that not less than
$2,000,000 are now in the bands of clerks of Post-
offices destitute of Postmasters.
; The impeachment question was precipitated
upon the House on tbe 7th, bv Mr. Ashley, of
Ohio, who offered a resolution for the appoint
ment of the Judiciary Committee to continue the
investigation into tbe charges against the Presi
dent, which be made in last Congress He fol
lowed it with a half an hour's speech, charging
the President with corruption, usurpation and
crime, and intimating that he gained the Execu
tive chair th rough complicity with the assassina
tion plot. At this point Speaker Colfax called
him to order, on the ground that be was going
beyond the limits of debate. Some of the Dem
orata mi thia point tnqai ro2 if there was nor. an

Speeches were also made by Spaulding and But
ler in favor of the resolution, and by Brooks
.Wood and Pruyn against it, after which the real
olution was adopted.
' Mr- Wilson's bill, prohibiting liquor to le

Lata accounts from Alabama and Georgia rep
resent the destitution in those States greater than
nefretofore reported; Deaths are reported from
starvation in Georgia, while a leading paper es
timates the number starving there at 50,000. The
Judiciary Committee of tbe Senate presented a
bill appropriating one million of dollars for tbe
relief of the suffering Southern peop!e,which wad
passed without a division.
- Some of the members of the House propose to
take a recess until May, but the Senate seems
averse to this proposition that body being in fa
vor of remaining in session until all the appoint
ments are made and confirmed, and then adjourn
ing to October or November.
The Arrest of Surratt. Some days
since a committee was appointed by (!on-
fress, to inquire what effort had been made
y the Government authorities to arrest
John H. Surratt. The committee eineri-
Lenced no difficulty in reaching thl conclu-
eiuii mai um muo euort naa Deen maae in
that direction. They say the Executive
neither made any demand upon England for
his surrender, nor sent any detective or
agent to Liverpool to identify Surratt, or to
trace his movements, notwithstanding there
was ample time to do so. He did not, they
further say, give . notice to our Minister at
Rome, f hat Surratt intended to go there,
though the government had every reason to
believe that such was his intention. The
reward for his arrest was revoked so long
afto as November 1865, and subsequent
ly no steps were taken to identify or pro
cure the arrest of Surratt. Though the
Secretaries of State "and War and others
submitted testimony to justify the course of
the Government, the committee are yet
"constrained, from the testimony, to report
that, in their opinion, due diligence in the
arrest of Surratt was not exercised by the
Executive Department." They do not,
however, charge that this lack of diligence
was the result of any improper motives. ,

Notes from Harrisbuxg.
Quite an amusing scene took place in the
House upon its re-assembling on the 5th,
after a five days adjournment. During the
adjournment about sixty members, headed
by Speaker Glass, visited Washington, nom
inally to be present at the opening of Con
gress, but really for the purpose of being
admitted in a body to the floor of the Sen
ate and make a complimentary demonstra
tion on the occasion of the swearing in of
Hon. Simon Cameron,' United States Sena
tor. : The fact that but two Senators, Messrs.
Cowan and Buckalew, voted in favor of ad
mitting the informal delegation chagrined
many of them deeply, and on their return
they were a good deal bantered and badger
ed by certain members who did not sympa
thise with the purpose of the visit. At the
evening session on Tuesday, March 5th, in
the House, Mr. Kurtz, of Centre county,
rose in his place'and asked leave to make an
explanation, which being granted.be popped
out a facetious preamble and resolution to
the effect that those members who went to
Washington to witness the swearing in, but
did not witness it, severally report to tbe
House, and that they have power to send
for persons and papers. "The idea of send
ing for United States Senators was' consid
ered a good joke, and created a general roar
of laughter.
The Free Railroad, bill, reported to
the Senate some days since, passed that
body as it came from the hands of the Com
mittee. The friends of a liberal and prac
tical Free Railroad law, made every effort
to amend it, so as to meet the original intent
of the bill, but without . avail They pro
tested against its passage in its present
shapex but finally voted for it as the best
that could be obtained at the present session.
What its fate may le in the Ho ise, remains
to be seen. That a proper and liberal law
has many friends, there is no doubt, but
they are in the minority,and will have to be
content with whatever may be passed by the
majority, though they are making a valiant
fight in behalf of the interests of the people
at large.
A law has been passed, changing the time
and place of organization of the Trout Run
navigation company to the first Monday of
July next, at the office of G. L. Reod, in
Clearfield, unless the corporators decide, by
unanimous consent, on some other time and
uluce, and withdrawing the name of A. B
Shaw, from the list of corporators.
A correspondent of the littsburg, Com
mercial, says, " An officer of the Connels
ville road, who is here attending to its inter
ests, informs me that a nice little House
'ring' of twenty, at $700 per head, 'felt!
him not long since, but he couldn't see it."
The bill restoring the franchises of that road
will likely pass the House, which will only
be useful in future action, as it will not pass
the Senate this session. . -
A bill has been passed by the House,
.which proposes a revision of the fees of
Sheriff's, Piothono'ary's.Register'sand Re
corder's, Clerk of Orphan's Court, Juror?,
Constables, etc., throughout theJState.
-An Unpleasant Neighborhood. The
Nashville P'ty, in giving an account of the
destruction oi a large saw-mill, at Johnson
ville, Tentiessee, by an incendiary fire, says
that it belonged to Judge Palmer, who has
a contract to fa plank for eight national
cemeteries, and whose work is necessarily
suspended. Judge Pai met was formerly a
citizen of Ohio, and was in the Federal ser-
vice during the war, but for some time past
has been an acrive citizen of Cheatham co.,
and has been engaged in developing the re
sources or the county in a praiseworthy
manner. His great energy and industry
have made him a valuable accession to the
neighborhood. Since he took the contract
to tarnish plask to the cemeteries, he has
been frequently notified that his business
was exceedingly offensive to the friends of
the " poifederacy," and has had warnings
that his mill would be bursed unless he de
sisted. Revenue Frauds. The report made by
the Congressional Committee on Internal
Reveuue frauds, reveals the fact that the
Government has been defrauded out of one
hundred and. fifty millions of dollars, which
is being withheld by the distillers through
out the country, as a bribing fund, whilst
they have only paid thirty millions of tax
into the treasury. This is truly an astound
ing fact, and one that will be hard to reme
dy, as a great portion of the liquor frauds
are connived at ty those in the employ of the
Government many ot whom it is said have
suddenly become quite wealthy.
